Four Grey Wagtails came in to roost on the16th.The patch wasn't visted on the 17th as we went to Bramblehall Wood in Surrey to see the Hawfinches that have congregated there.
We were not disappointed as we saw over a hundred in the early morning sunshine. An incredible sight!

After Bramblehall Wood we went to Staines Resevoir to see the American Horned Lark which has been there for some time.
                                 


WHAT A CRACKER!!!
We also saw two Black-knecked Grebes and a male Scaup.
Back to the patch on Sunday 18th and there was a big flock of Siskins plus Lesser Redpolls and a MEALY REDPOLL amongst them.

    Hi James,the Siskins and Redpolls are in alders behind boathouse or at southern end.The Water Rails can been seen any time of day but early or late seems to be best.
